Nightmare was not a person who cared about boring things. If he said so, then the empress was someone close to the empress dowager.
Thinking of this, Shui Ruo couldn't help but sigh.
"Imperial Concubine, esteemed empress invited." Over here, just as Shui Ruo finished his thoughts, he heard a woman's voice coming from outside.
Respectful and distant.
Shui Ruo heard her, looked at Bing-Er and shrugged, "Look? "Just now, you've come."
"This servant will go with Miss." Bing-Er was worried.
"No need, you can rest here. I'll go myself. Even if the empress dowager really wanted to do something to me, she wouldn't do it now. However, Bing'er, you are different. If the empress dowager finds out that you are my trusted aide, she will definitely take your life. So, in the outside world, you must be just like those palace maids, respectful to me but not allowed to get close to me, do you understand? "
Shui Long looked at Bing'er and warned her seriously.
Bing-Er was scared, but she nodded anyway.
And then under Bing-Er's watch, Shui Chou left.
Walking out of the Freezing Moon Hall, what entered his line of sight was a woman wearing a blue colored flowery robe. The woman was about forty years old, probably an old man by the empress dowager's side.
The empress dowager must have placed a lot of trust in him for him to be sent out, right?
Speaking of which, the changes in this world were fast. A few days ago, the empress dowager was still the empress dowager. But now he was going to address himself as "This Dowager".
"Imperial Concubine, please follow me." When the woman saw that the water was flowing slowly out, she respectfully bowed and said.
Shui Long listened and nodded. "Thank you."
Upon saying that, the two of them fell silent. One led the way, the other followed behind.
Due to the change in master, all of the palace's people were extremely busy. The Emperor's enthronement ceremony was held with great difficulty, and the enthronement ceremony was about to be held. The entire palace was extremely busy.
As a result, Shui Yuehan only saw the busy palace maids outside.
They followed the woman and soon arrived at the place where the empress dowager currently lived. This was where the empress dowager used to live, and now that she was the empress dowager, there was no change in the place. It was said that it was because they didn't want to leave, and that the empress had her memories.
Of course, this was only for outsiders. No one knew the truth.
It could be said that he had a good understanding of the waters of the Phoenix Alligator Palace. Her Majesty seemed to be a person who reminisced about old times, so nothing changed here.
Arriving at the main hall, before they could even enter, they heard bell-like laughter from inside.
"Esteemed empress dowager, you really know how to make jokes." The woman's tone of voice was lively and it was difficult to conceal her smile.
He should be a very cute person, right? Water thought for a long time before walking in.
However, the scene that entered her eyes surprised her: "Shangguan Yun?"
Shui Long's eyes widened as she looked at the woman teasing the empress dowager. She called out her name in disbelief.
No, that's impossible, right? Wasn't she already? Wasn't it a lie that caused such a commotion in the capital?
Shui Yuehan was filled with doubt.
"Shangguan Yun? "Then who is it?" When the woman heard Shui Long's words, she became puzzled.
As the girl's voice rang out, the water slowly cleared up. This was definitely not Shangguan Yun. The woman's tone was lively and moving, and there was a light smile on her face. His eyes were clear and bright. Although it was similar, it couldn't compare to Shangguan Yun's oppressive noble aura.
Compared to Shangguan Yun, this girl was much more approachable. Or perhaps it should be said, although she was like Shangguan Yun, but no matter what, she couldn't compare to Shangguan Yun's temperament.
Shangguan Yun was born of a noble family, and became the Crown Prince's consort. Her status was unspeakable, making her seem superior. She usually did not laugh, but her smile was similar to the empress's.
It didn't seem like the woman in front of him.
Thinking of this, Shui Long couldn't help but recall the rumors he had heard about Shangguan Yun's death.
The last time she saw Shangguan Yun, she had already guessed it. Shangguan Yun probably wouldn't live on her own, but she never thought that she would leave so decisively.
"Humph!" Just as the water was letting out a long sigh, the empress dowager who had been hanging on the air coughed. Shui Ruo suddenly remembered that this was Phoenix Alligator Palace, so she hastened to kneel on the ground. "Greetings to the empress dowager. The empress dowager is thousands of years old, thousands of years old. "Greetings to the empress, the empress is extremely fortunate."
"Consort De need not be so polite."
Her Majesty was satisfied.
"She is Consort De." The empress looked at him with a puzzled expression.
This girl didn't look as good-looking as the rumors claimed. How could she make the emperor fall in love with her?
As she spoke of Night Emperor Flame, Ming'er's face reddened. He really was a handsome man. To be able to have such a person live his entire life, it was truly a worthwhile life.
But unfortunately, the person he liked wasn't her. Now that he thought about it, he understood why the Crown Princess would choose such a path.
At first, when the empress dowager told her about it, she was a little surprised.
There could be someone who was so similar to her and so stupid.
He had thought about it a lot tomorrow. When Shui Long heard Ming'er's words, he respectfully lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "To reply to the empress, chenqie is indeed."
The empress dowager was very pleased to hear that Shui Ruo was still abiding by the rules. "Originally, Consort De doesn't approve of entering the palace for This Dowager, but since His Majesty insisted on having you enter the palace, This Dowager has no choice but to say more. But Consort De, you must remember, after entering the palace, you must properly discipline yourself and not hook up with the crown prince and have him specially pamper you, just like when you were at the crown prince's mansion. "
Heh! Consort De, are you trying to get me to be virtuous? Shui Ruo's mouth twitched, but he still remained respectful on the surface: "Yes, chenqie will remember."
"Mm. In today's inauguration ceremony, the first decree was made for you and Ming'er. It can be seen how much the emperor values you two. Tonight is a banquet, and a hundred officials are present as well." I hope you will not embarrass the Emperor. If we make the emperor lose face, you guys should know the consequences, right? "
the Empress asked, looking at the water.
Hearing this, the two of them agreed.
Thus the lecture was concluded, and the Empress Dowager was satisfied. She then said, "Since that's the case, you two may leave. I'm tired."
With that, the Queen waved her robe and left.
When Water saw this, he turned around and was about to leave. However, the empress stopped him. "Sister, wait."
"Is the empress alright?" Shui Shui looked at Ming'er and asked.
Hearing that, Ming'er revealed an extremely innocent smile: "Eh? Can't you talk to your sister without anything to do? I've only just arrived at the harem and I don't know anything. Right now, there are only two sisters in the imperial harem. In the future, there will be a lot of women in this palace.
There's some hidden meaning behind Ming'er's words, but when Shui Long heard it, he smiled and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? "But, the empress has a good temper, I think she'll be welcome."
"Are they welcomed by our sisters or by the Emperor?" she asked back tomorrow.
Shui Long laughed even more deeply when he heard this. "Of course there's both of them."
"Little sister, your words are too wrong. Although you said it like that, but in my opinion, the former might be possible, but the latter definitely shouldn't be, right?
Although I have just arrived, I do know a bit about the matters between the Emperor and my younger sister. The Emperor loved his sister very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored the princess consort that he had officially married.
Speaking of which, the Crown Princess was rather pitiful. She's very similar to me, isn't she? Perhaps, I am the second her. " Ming'er seemed to be sighing with emotion, but the gloominess in her eyes didn't seem to be the same.
Shui Ruo's face darkened when she heard this. "The empress is joking, His Highness the crown prince has never cared about the crown prince's consort. Besides, the crown prince and chenqie aren't doing anything." "As long as the empress loves the emperor, the emperor will definitely see it."
"I'm afraid that his eyes will no longer be able to see others, and that his heart will no longer be able to contain others."
"How would you know without trying? I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first. "
"Wait, don't go!" Ming'er stopped Shui Ruo and walked in front of her. Looking at Shui Ruo, she said, "I was in the wrong, but little sister, some Shangguan family members just came. Big sister is a little scared. So, could you come with me, sister? "
Ming'er looked at the water and pleaded.
Shangguan Family? Shui Long was stunned. He couldn't help but think of Shangguan Yun and Shangguan Bing.
She caused Shangguan Yun to be in such a sorry state, Shangguan Bing should hate her, right?
Shui Long nodded his head, "The empress has given her orders, how could I dare disobey?"
The two of them left together as soon as the words left their mouths. She was temporarily staying at the Emerald Cloud Hall because her palace had not been cleaned up yet.
The Emerald Cloud Hall was a side hall of the empress dowager's Phoenix algal palace. When the two of them arrived, Shangguan Bing was already sitting in the hall, waiting for them.
When he saw Shui Long come with the woman, a complicated look flashed across Shangguan Bing's eyes.
"Greetings to the esteemed empress and consort De." Shangguan Bing's tone was full of playfulness. Even he found Shui Ruo's current identity somewhat amusing. A few days ago it was still fine, but in just a few days it had already become like this? His sister had died, and Shui Long had become the emperor's concubine. Consort De? Interesting.
"I wonder why the Shangguan Family Head is looking for me?" Ming'er looked at Shangguan Bing'er with awe and respect. When she spoke, she looked a bit like Shangguan Yun.
Shui Ruo could not help but look at her.
Ming'er had heard of Shangguan Yun previously, and naturally of Shangguan Bing'er as well. When the empress dowager spoke of Shangguan Qing, she repeatedly warned her that if she met her, she would use Shangguan Yun's tone to speak. That's good.
However, what she did not know was that it was this tone that made Shangguan Bing even angrier.
He heard a voice similar to his sister's, looking at the face that was almost exactly the same. Shangguan Han was angry.
He was not crazy like Feng Xi. As long as they looked the same. She was his sister, his only family member. It was just a facade that could not be deceived by him.
"I heard that the esteemed Empress is very similar to my deceased elder sister, so I came to take a look." However, when we look at them, they do not look very similar. Shangguan Bing's tone was cold.
Hearing this, Ming'er became depressed. Asking her to pretend to be Shangguan Yun in order to obtain the mercy of Night Emperor Yan and the help of the Shangguan family was the empress dowager's idea. But he didn't expect this person to be so strong.
"Compared to this, Concubine De, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I wonder if you could speak to me alone? " Shangguan Bing looked at the water and asked casually.
Shui Long heard her words, looked at Queen Ming'er, then looked back at Shangguan Han, who seemed to be deep in thought. Out of guilt, he agreed.
"In that case, come to my place." After saying this, the two of them left.
After the two of them left, Ming'er's expression became even more unsightly.
"The emperor really does like you." In front of the main hall of the Dark Fragrance Palace, Shangguan Bing looked at the room and sighed.
"Maybe." Shui Long gave a coy smile. To Shangguan Bing, the fact that Ye Huang liked her was something that he should never have mentioned.
It was precisely because of this that Shangguan Yun walked on such a path. When she thought here, Shui Ruo couldn't help but open her mouth: "I heard about your sister."
"Oh? Just heard of it? " Shangguan Bing turned back to Shui Long and said bluntly: "Weren't you the one who killed her?"
"How is this possible!?" Although I have enmity with her, I would never kill her. " Water frowned.
"You have enmity with her, but you won't kill her? If these words were spoken, who would believe them? Moreover, she died after she saw you. If you didn't kill her, who else would it be? "
Shangguan Qing questioned.
"I don't know, but I didn't kill her. If I had really wanted to kill her, I wouldn't have waited until today. and won't give her a chance to hurt me. " Shui Ruo's gaze turned cold, angry at Shangguan Bing's misunderstanding.
Ever since she came to this world, although she would occasionally get angry and even fall into despair, she had never thought about killing anyone or letting them have a good time. She had always been passive. Even if Shangguan Yun set her up, it was the same.
However, Shangguan Bing misunderstood that she had killed his sister, that was hilarious!
"It really wasn't you?" Shangguan Xuan said softly.
"Of course not. If I really want to kill her, there are a hundred ways, why would I need to use the stupidest one? "
The water was calm and unchanging.
"Like I said, you don't look like that kind of person." Just as Shui Long was preparing to argue with Shangguan Qing, her attitude suddenly changed. Looking at Shui Long, she smiled.
His smile was the same as it usually was when he chatted and joked with Shui Yuehan.
Shui Long was stunned to see him like this.
"Haha, looking at how you are, I am only joking with you. Although her elder sister had died, that was perhaps the best choice for her. Previously, I thought that it was because of the person that harmed her that I went to find out who saw her for the last time. However, I didn't expect that it was you. "
As Shangguan Han's words fell, he looked at Shui Long and said: "If it was you, it doesn't matter whether you really killed her or not. Perhaps, this was the best result she could come up with.
